El Mayoral

What pain I feel in my chest
When it's early in the morning
The overseer with his challenge
Doesn't let us rest

At four in the morning
When the sun starts to rise
The overseer with his challenge
Doesn't let us rest

Oh! Overseer, oh! Overseer
Oh! Overseer, oh! Overseer
Take out your machete Cipriano (take out your machete)
Sharpen your lamp José (sharpen your lamp)
